A: Check Lane Safety system

When Lane Keeping Assist is not working properly, the warning message will appear and the yellow () indicator light will appear on the cluster. If this occurs, have the function inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

A: Lane Safety system disabled. Camera obscured.

When the front windshield where the front view camera is located, is covered with foreign material, such as snow or rain, it can reduce the detecting performance and temporarily limit or disable Lane Keeping Assist.

If this occurs, the warning message, the master warning light and the Lane Safety warning lights will appear on the cluster. However, it is not a malfunction. Lane Keeping Assist will operate properly when snow, rain or foreign material is removed. Always keep it clean.

If Lane Keeping Assist does not operate properly after obstruction (snow, rain, or foreign material) is removed (including trailer, carrier, etc. from the rear bumper), have the vehicle inspected by an authorized Kia dealer.

Lane Keeping Assist may not operate properly or may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:

• The lane is contaminated or difficult to detect because:

  • The lane markings (or road edge) are covered with rain, snow, dirt, oil, etc.

  • The color of the lane marking (or road edge) is not distinguishable from the road

  • There are markings (or road edges) on the road near the lane or the markings (or road edges) on the road look similar to the lane markings (or road edge)

  • The lane marking (or road edge) is indistinct or damaged

  • The shadow is on the lane marking (or road edge) by a median strip, trees, guardrail, noise barriers, etc.

• The lane number increases or decreases, or the lane markings (or road edges) are crossing

• There are more than two lane markings (or road edges) on the road

• The lane markings (or road edges) are complicated or a structure substitutes for the lines, such as a construction area

• There are road markings, such as zigzag lanes, crosswalk markings and road signs

• The lane suddenly disappears, such as at the intersection

• The lane (or road width) is very wide or narrow

• There is a road edge without a lane

• There is a boundary structure in the roadway, such as a tollgate, sidewalk, curb, etc.

• The distance to the front vehicle is extremely short or the vehicle in front is covering the lane marking (or road edge)
